Live out Nanny/PA or Manny/PA, Hampstead, ASAP start
A returning of Greycoat Lumleys is looking for an excellent, friendly, sports-loving, and engaging Manny/Nanny-PA for their two children, a boy and a girl aged 11 and 6 years old. Although the eldest is very independent, he still requires guidance and support. This is a hybrid role combining Personal Assistant (daytime) and Manny/Nanny responsibilities (afternoon).
The successful candidate will be fun and personable and be able to promote and encourage a healthy lifestyle. Someone who understands the importance of academics, while also bringing energy, warmth, and fun into the children’s daily routine, is essential. The family is looking for someone who can bring additional skills to the children, either from an educational point of view or sports/languages. Both children are athletic, so the ideal candidate will be interested in sports. The eldest plays cricket, and during cricket season some evenings may extend beyond 7.30pm but will be compensated with later starts the next day.
The family can be flexible with the schedule and requires this flexibility from the candidate as well, especially when the parents are travelling for work. They both travel a lot (especially to India and the USA) and try their best to not have their travels overlap, but some help on weekends may be required. Additional hours will be given back as time off in lieu.
The ideal candidate will be organised, detail-oriented, and proactive, yet still comfortable with some shared care as there is another nanny employed. The mother works from home as well.
